But he said that the land of Shuofang was originally under the jurisdiction of King Youxian of the Xiongnu, but now it was captured by Han soldiers. He was resentful, so he raised troops to the border for many years, killing many officials and people, and Emperor Wu became even more angry. In the spring of the fifth year of Yuan Shuo, King Youxian came to invade Shuofang again.

, Emperor Wu ordered Wei Qing, the chariot general, to lead 30,000 cavalry troops out of Gaoque. He also appointed Wei Wei Su Jian as the guerrilla general, Zuo Neishi Li Zu as the strong crossbow general, Grand Servant Sun He as the cavalry general, and acting prime minister Li Cai

As a general with light chariots, he led his troops out of Shuofang. All the generals returned to Wei Qing for control.

When Wei Qing and other generals arrived at the border, King Youxian of the Xiongnu had already withdrawn from the fortress. Wei Qing ordered the generals to go out and pursue them. Following the order, the generals led their men and horses to advance quietly. After traveling for many days, they were overtaken. It turned out that King Youxian of the Xiongnu was drunk that night.

We were lying down without any equipment, but we encountered more than 100,000 Han soldiers sweeping in at night. We could only hear the shouts of killing shaking the sky and the earth, but we didn't know how many Han soldiers came.

King Youxian woke up from his dream and was so frightened that he hurriedly led hundreds of Hu soldiers and his concubine to break through the encirclement and go north. The Hu soldiers were captured and killed before they could escape, and the Han soldiers won a complete victory. Wei Qing led the troops.

He returned home with the generals. Emperor Wu was overjoyed when he heard the news and immediately sent an envoy carrying the general's seal and ribbon to meet Wei Qing. He read the edict in the army and worshiped Wei Qing as the general. All the generals were subordinated. Wei Qing accepted the general's seal and returned to the capital.

Emperor Wu extended his condolences and issued an edict to enfeoff 8,700 households. He also granted Wei Qing's eldest son Wei and his wife the title of Marquis of Yichun, the second son Wei Busuo as the Marquis of Yin'an, and the third son Wei Deng as the Marquis of Fagan. Wei Qing thanked him again and again.

"I relied on your majesty's spirit, and the generals worked hard to win the victory. They have been granted the title of city by your majesty. My three sons are all in their infancy, and they have not worked hard enough to reward them, which is not enough to convince the generals. My husband and I do not dare to

Receive the title." Emperor Wu said: "I have not forgotten the merits of the generals, and now they should be rewarded accordingly." So Gongsun He, Li Cai, Gongsun Ao, Han Shuo and others were all granted the title of marquis. Wei Qing saw that Emperor Wu was not allowed to resign the title, so he had to thank him.

quit.

However, it was said that there was a man whose surname was given to his father's name Yan. He was from Linzi and had learned the skills of Su Qin and Zhang Yi. He came from a poor family and traveled to the princes, but he didn't meet him anywhere, so he came to the capital to see Wei Qing. Wei Qing was very happy with the words, so he recommended him to Emperor Wu. Who knows?

After calling him several times, Emperor Wu didn't call him. His father, Yan Jiu, had run out of money in the capital and borrowed money everywhere, which made people disgusted. He had no choice but to submit a letter together with Xu Le from Yan and Yan An from Linzi, both of whom talked about current affairs. Emperor Wu saw him.

The three men were summoned immediately and they all became doctors.

In the spring of the second year of Yuan Shuo, Liang King Liu Xiang (son of Liu Mai) and Chengyang King Liu Yan (Liu Zhangsun) wrote letters one after another, willing to grant the vassal city to their younger brother. Emperor Wu saw that the petition was pending. The master's father Yan Jin said: "In ancient times, the territory of the princes was no more than a hundred miles.

It is easy to subdue; today's land is thousands of miles away, and they are usually arrogant, extravagant and promiscuous. If something happens, they will join forces and conspire against each other. If the land is cut down in accordance with the law, it will definitely lead to changes in the group. Chao Cuo's incident can serve as a warning for others. According to my humble opinion, the princes, princes, and younger brothers are young.

There are only a few people, as many as more than a dozen people. Only the eldest son can be the heir. Although the rest are of flesh and blood, they have no title of size, which is unavoidable. May your majesty order the princes and kings to divide their lands and make their children marquis. On the surface

Everyone is happy to get what they want, but in fact it divides the country, making it weak and easy to control." After hearing the praise, Emperor Wu issued an edict to grant the request of King Liang and King Chengyang. He also notified the princes and kings who were willing to share the city with their children.

, and he was allowed to comply with the report. As a result, all the princes, princes and brothers were granted fiefs, and the vassal state was weakened.

But it is said that Liu Dingguo, the grandson of King Liu Ze of Yan, inherited the title and indulged in promiscuity day and night. Not long after his father died, he committed adultery with his concubine and gave birth to a son out of wedlock. He also took his younger brother's wife as his concubine. Later, he became more and more promiscuous, including his three daughters.

He was forced to sleep with him and took turns having sex. He was worse than an animal. The Ying people wrote a letter of remonstrance, which made him angry and wanted to accuse the Ying people. The Ying people planned to go to the capital to report, but Liu Dingguo killed him and silenced him. The girl was named Mrs. Tian Fu.

Fu was favored, and Dingguo also relied on his power to run rampant. In the second year of Yuanshuo, Liu Fu died, and the brothers from Ying went to Yique to complain about their grievances, and asked their father Yan to be the judge on his behalf. Before Yan, his father traveled to Yan, but he could not find any use, so he borrowed money from the public for private purposes.

, it was said that Liu Dingguo had to be killed as a beast. Emperor Wu then issued an edict to kill him. Liu Dingguo committed suicide and the country was reduced to a county.

Therefore, the grandson of the filial king Liu Jianglu was named Liu Cichang, who succeeded him as king in the fifth year of Yuan Guang. He was a handsome young man, and his mother Ji married his younger brother's daughter. Liu Cichang was naturally lustful, and saw that Ji's daughter was ordinary in appearance.

Of course, they looked at each other with blank eyes. Even though they were called husband and wife, they actually had the same enemy. Ji's daughter couldn't be happy with her husband, so she cried to her aunt. Empress Dowager Ji was in love with her niece, so she ordered her daughter Ji Wengzhu to mediate on her behalf and not allow concubines in the harem to have sex with Liu Cichang. Ji Wengzhu

Already married and older than Liu Cichang, she was originally Liu Cichang's sister. Liu Cichang was restrained by his sister and could not get close to his concubine, so he simply flirted with his sister and acted out the story of Qi Xianggong Lu Wenjiang. He only hid it from his mother and Ji's daughter.

Still left out in the palace.

At that time, Xu Jia, a native of Qi, was castrated and served as a eunuch in the capital. He was sent to Changle Palace as an errand. Changle Palace was the residence of Emperor Wu's mother, the Queen Mother. Seeing that he was articulate and intelligent, she often ordered his attendants. The Queen Mother had a daughter.

Xiuchengjun, Xiuchengjun has a daughter named E, who has not yet been married. Xu Jia told Empress Dowager Bai that he was willing to fight for Xiuchengjun's daughter and go to Qi to propose marriage. The Queen Mother naturally agreed and ordered Xu Jia to go eastward that day. The master's father Yan also had a daughter.

When he wanted to marry the King of Qi, he heard that Xu Jia had been ordered to go to Qi, so he asked him to take advantage of the opportunity to make an agreement.

When Empress Dowager Ji learned about it, she became furious and said: "The king is married and the harem is all ready. Doesn't Xu Jia know that? Xu Jia is an eunuch. He doesn't want to do his job but wants to mess with my family. What a troublesome thing! My father is Yan.

What do you mean, do you want to bring your daughter into the harem?" At this point, he ordered his surroundings to drive Xu Jia away! Xu Jia immediately inquired about Qi's affairs and learned that the King of Qi was having an affair with his sister, so he returned to the west to return to King Bai.

The Queen Mother said: "The King of Qi has a good relationship with his sister, but I dare not get engaged to him." The Queen Mother was open-minded, and after hearing about it, she said casually: "In that case, there is no need to mention it again!"

Xu Jia rushed out sadly and reported to his father Yan. His father Yan was very unhappy when he saw that the King of Qi was unwilling to accept a daughter, so he was happy to take advantage of this report to hear about it and give him some trouble. The plan was decided, so he went to the court and reported:

"The capital of Qi, Linzi, has a household registration of 100,000 yuan and a city rent of 10,000 gold. It is richer than Chang'an. Now that the king of Qi has committed adultery with his sister, he should send an envoy to investigate and punish him." Emperor Wu then made his father-in-law Yan the Prime Minister of Qi and asked him to behave well.

Don't be too hasty in Kuangzheng. The master's father, Yan Yang, violated the law, and as soon as he arrived in Qi, he wanted to investigate the embarrassment of the king of Qi. When a group of brothers and friends heard that the master's father Yan had returned to his hometown, they all came to greet him. The master's father Yan was overwhelmed, so he simply called them in and took out five hundred gold.

Distribute the money according to each person, and speak sternly: "You were my brothers and friends, can you remember how you treated me in the past? I am the Prime Minister now, so I don't need to worry about you. You can just take the money and go, and you don't have to come to my door again in the future!"

"Everyone felt very regretful after hearing this, and had no choice but to take their gold and disperse.

The master's father, Yanle, was now clean, so he summoned the palace ministers, Ding, to question the King of Qi about his adultery. The ministers did not dare to hide their secrets, so they had to confess. The master's father Yan was about to arrest the ministers, and threatened to report to Emperor Wu, hoping that the King of Qi would beg him for mercy, so that he could control the power of the country.

Let him take control of it. Unexpectedly, the King of Qi was young and timid, and would seek death when threatened. The master's father Yan reported the truth. Emperor Wu was furious, and ordered him to be removed from his official rank and imprisoned for punishment. Gongsun Hong, the imperial censor, seemed to have a grudge against his master's father.

He must kill him. He wrote a letter saying that the King of Qi committed suicide and had no heirs, and the country was reduced to a county. If he did not kill his father Yan, he would not be able to thank the world. Emperor Wu then issued an edict to kill his father Yan and his whole family. When his father Yan was noble, he had no less than a thousand guests.

Because he was afraid that no one would dare to ask questions, Kong Che, a man from Dujie County, took care of his burial. When Emperor Wu heard about it, he called Kong Che a loyal elder and did not blame him.

However, it is said that when Han An was stationed in Yuyang, he was defeated by the Xiongnu and took away more than a thousand people and a large number of livestock. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent an envoy to blame him and moved him to Youbeiping.

Han Anguo was demoted and demoted. He felt very ashamed and often depressed. Finally, he vomited blood and died in the second year of Yuanshuo. Emperor Wu issued an edict to appoint Li Guang as the governor of Youbeiping. After receiving the order, Li Guang wanted to avenge his personal grudges and asked Emperor Wu to general Ba Ling.

The lieutenant was transferred to the army. Emperor Wu approved the report and Lieutenant Ba Ling was transferred to the army. As soon as Li Guang saw it, he ordered everyone to be beheaded. At the same time, he wrote to Emperor Wu to state the circumstances and plead guilty on his own. Emperor Wu gave the letter to exempt him from prosecution and ordered him to do his best to prevent Hu. Li Guang

Guang was ordered to go to Youbeiping to take over, and news had already reached the Xiongnu.

The Xiongnu originally planned to invade Youbeiping, but now that they heard that Li Guang had become the county guard, they gave up the plan.

One day, Emperor Wu issued an edict to select General Wei to use his own people as Lang officials. Wei Qing followed the edict and did not ask whether the people were virtuous or not. However, he selected more than ten people who were wealthy and ordered them to bring their own saddles, horses, crimson clothes and swords.

The names were drawn up and prepared to be entered. Suddenly it was reported that Zhao Yu, the young master, came to pay a visit. Wei Qingyan met and talked about the matter. Wei Qing summoned the selected people and asked Zhao Yu to see if they were qualified. Zhao Yu called each one to come and asked.

Most of the questions he asked could not be answered, or the answers were unclear. After asking more than ten people in a row, no one understood the matter. Zhao Yu thought to himself that the general was too confused. How could these people choose him to see the Lord?

, then said to Wei Qing: "There is an old saying: 'There must be a general among the generals', and it also goes: 'If you don't know his king, look at his envoys; if you don't know his son, look at his friends'. Now the Lord has issued an edict to the generals."

People want to get talented people in civil and military affairs. If they only take the son of a rich man to answer the imperial edict, but they have no wisdom, they are like puppets, and they have no practicality, how can they get them?" Wei Qing was so embarrassed by Zhao Yu's words that he summoned him.

There were more than a hundred people under the sect, and they gathered together and asked Zhao Yu to make the selection. Zhao Yu asked more than a hundred people one by one, and finally pointed to the two people and said to Wei Qing: "Only these two can be selected, and none of the others are available."

." Wei Qing raised his eyes and looked at the chosen people. It turned out that one was Tian Ren and the other was Ren An.

Speaking of Tian Ren, he is the youngest son of Uncle Tian, ​​Prime Minister of Lu. He has been in office with his father since he was a child. Uncle Tian died of illness and took office. Tian Ren has grown up and is brave and powerful. However, because of his poverty, he became a member of Wei Qingshe and has always been friends with Ren An.

Good. Ren An, named Shaoqing, was born in Xingyang. He lost his father when he was young. He was poor and bored, so he had no choice but to work as a chariot driver. He went to Chang'an to seek a job as a minor official, but it was difficult to get what he wanted, so he was a martial artist. Not long after, Ren An was promoted to the third elder and was promoted to the third elder.

He was promoted to the county magistrate. Suddenly, when Emperor Wu was on a trip, Ren An failed to handle the supplies well, so he was dismissed. He then joined Wei Qing's family, and met Tian Ren. The two were old friends, and now they are colleagues. When they met each other, they talked about their current situation.

More and more intimate.

On that day, there were many guests in the Wei Qing clan, and they all returned to their homes to supervise and assign duties. Since the family supervisor had the power to employ people, he regarded a group of family members as his own officials, so he pretended to be a senior official. The group of family members were under jurisdiction.

, everyone looks up to him. The supervisor does not ask about his talents, but assigns positions according to how much money he pays. Tian Ren is as poor as Ren An and has no money to flatter the supervisor, so the supervisor sends two people to raise horses. Two people

He had no choice but to go to work as an errand. Although he was wronged, he was happy that they still had to be together. They raised horses during the day and settled in a small thatched hut next to the stable at night. The two of them lay in the same bed, and Tian Ren thought of himself as a humble servant.

He felt indignant in his heart. One night he said to Ren An: "The prisoner doesn't know people very well."

Ren An replied: "The general doesn't know people, let alone the family supervisor." After Tian Ren heard about it, he sighed and was speechless.

Later, Wei Qing repeatedly attacked the Xiongnu. Both of them marched with the army and made minor achievements, so Wei Qing was appointed as a cavalry officer. One day, the two of them followed Wei Qing to Princess Pingyang's house. The master stayed for dinner and ordered them to share the meal with a group of cavalry slaves.

While sitting down, the two of them were secretly angry and said nothing. They suddenly pulled out their knives to cut off the seats and moved them to another place to eat. The public couldn't help being surprised when they saw this behavior of the two of them. They felt that they were exaggerating themselves and did not bother to share the table with everyone.

I hate it, but I don't dare to criticize him.

This time the imperial court issued an edict to select Shiren as a groom, and Wei Qing specially selected the son of a wealthy man. The two of them were already in despair. However, when Zhao Yu came to make another selection, he actually took a fancy to the two of them. Unexpectedly, when Wei Qing saw that the two of them were poor, he fell in love with them.

They were very dissatisfied. After Zhao Yu left, they said to the two of them: "You have to prepare your own pommel, horse and new clothes." They thought that the general knew that my family was poor, but deliberately ridiculed me, so they replied angrily: "My family is poor and has no power.

Prepare to do it." Wei Qing heard this and said angrily: "Since you two know that your family is poor, why do you say such words? It seems that I am asking you for something." Wei Qing said angrily and went inside. He wanted to choose someone else, but he didn't know who it was.

After passing the exam, and not living up to Zhao Yu's good intentions, he had no choice but to list their names and give them clothes to prepare for the summons.

Emperor Wu read the list, summoned the two men to see him, and asked, "What talents do you two have that we can recommend each other to?" Tian Ren said to him, "Carry drums and set up military gates so that the people of the three armies are willing to fight to the death. Ren

Not as good as Ren An." Ren An also said to him: "Determine suspicion, determine right and wrong, manage official affairs, so that the people have no resentment, and peace is not as good as Tian Ren." After hearing this, Emperor Wu laughed and praised him, and all worshiped him as a doctor, making Ren An protect him.

During the Northern Army, Tian Ren guarded the fields and valleys along the river, and the two of them became famous. Readers can imagine that once Wei Qing became rich, he forgot his true colors, but disliked Tian Ren and Ren An for being poor. It is really inexplicable. But although he knew people unknown, he was still willing to obey.

Zhao Yu's words are quite good.

But it was said that Wei Qing was originally a slave in Princess Pingyang's family. Now that he was a general, he still visited the princess from time to time. A group of slaves in the master's family were very envious when they saw his splendid manners. At this time, the princess's husband Cao Shou had died, and his

Her son, Cao Xiang, became a marquis. The princess was nearly forty years old and could not stand being lonely as a widow. She wanted to choose someone to marry again. Then she called her servants and asked: "Among the princes, who is the most virtuous and worthy of marriage?" Everyone said that General Wei Qing was the best.

The princess smiled and said: "This man is in my house and often rides in and out of my house. How come I think he is my husband?" She said to the left and right: "Now we are a great general, my sister is the queen, and my three sons are ennobled. I am extremely noble in the court. If the princess wants to

Who else should I choose as a husband besides him?" Princess Pingyang thought to herself after hearing this. Moreover, Wei Qingfang was in his prime, and his figure and appearance were very majestic. He was very different from his ex-husband Cao Shou. If I could marry this man, it would be a good time for the rest of my life.

I was lucky, but there was no one in front of me to make the decision, so I was in a dilemma. After thinking about it, I thought that I could only go to Queen Wei to match him, so I put on light makeup, dressed up neatly, and went to propose. At this time, the Queen Mother Wang had already collapsed.

It had been about a year since the death. The princess had lost her husband and her mother's clothes, so she changed into a beautiful dress and drove into the palace. When Empress Wei saw her clothes, she had already seen through them, and after sitting and talking for a while, she became more aware.

She simply exposed it and tried to make a match. Princess Pingyang didn't care about the shame, so she had to tell the truth, and the queen of Wei agreed. When the princess returned, she summoned Wei Qing to do business with him, and told Emperor Wu that it was a success. The two parties agreed, and unexpectedly,

An edict was issued: General Wei Shang Princess Pingyang. I don’t know what the edict said, there is no record in the history books! On the day of the wedding, the auditorium in the general’s mansion was decorated with splendor and splendor. Needless to say, when the phoenix chariot came to the door, please come out.

The princess remarried and paid homage to the general. The four guests, male and female, all congratulated the two newlyweds. It was a happy marriage! After the ceremony, they entered the room, the night turned, unfolded the emerald quilt, and fulfilled the mandarin duck's dream.

, Needless to say. Wei Qing has not broken the string, and she is Princess Pingyang. She doesn’t know what to do with her old wife.

Since Wei Qing married Princess Pingyang, he and Emperor Wu were each other's uncles. If you call me brother-in-law, I will also call you brother-in-law. This has added a layer of friendship between the monarch and his ministers. On that day, all the ministers and officials in the court bowed their heads when they saw Wei Qing.

, did not dare to resist him, Ji An was the only one who bowed but did not bow. Wei Qing and Ji An always got along well with each other and did not care about each other. When others met, they said to Ji An in private: "The Lord wants all the ministers to respect the general. The general

How precious! When you meet him from now on, you must pay homage to him." Ji An replied: "Otherwise, as a general is so valuable, if he can be a good corporal, wouldn't he be even more valuable?" Hearing this, Wei Qing felt even more depressed.
Chapter completed!
